2020 British Virgin Islands $10 2-oz Silver Mayflower 400th Anniversary Ultra High Relief Proof

Set Sail With the Pilgrims

When the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 it was the culmination of a harrowing voyage across the Atlantic Ocean aboard the Mayflower, a tiny vessel measuring just 100 feet long that has since been described by some historians as being little more than wooden bathtub with masts. To pay tribute to the 400th anniversary of the little ship’s famous voyage, the British Virgin Islands has released a 1620-2020 dual-dated coin that captures the spirit and character of the fragile boat as it made its journey to America.

Struck by the world-renowned Pobjoy Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the $10 legal-tender coin comes in gorgeous proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields. Plus, the designs featured on the Mayflower 400th Anniversary Proof are made even more spectacular thanks to an Ultra High Relief finish that adds extra depth and dimension to the already impressive image.

When the Mayflower reached America on November 11, 1620 after a voyage of 66 days, it was too late in the year to plant crops or build homes before winter set in. Instead, the Pilgrims stayed aboard the Mayflower where nearly half of the 102-person contingent died from scurvy and pneumonia. The 53 people who survived the winter established Plymouth Colony, just the second successful European settlement in America after the founding of Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. Today, more than 10 million living Americans are descendants from the original Pilgrims. The story of their courage in the face of hardships is a central theme in our nation’s culture and heritage, culminating with the observance of Thanksgiving each November.

The significance of the Pilgrims’ journey on the Mayflower cannot be underestimated. With that in mind, the extremely low limited edition for this proof that was set at a meager 620 seems far too low for the many thousands of people who would like to own one.
